chrisyking Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Daniel thanks you're right of course, I really wanted something smaller and more portable than my 60 . The problem with my 60 is that in a basket it's huge. Other than that I like it. The 8060 seemed really good as even in a basket it's a nice size for running around. I think I'll keep it. If the mic is too directional it can make booming a bit tricky sometimes and the 8060 seems a little wider than the 416 but not so that it causes too much background noise which is the obvious payoff. I haven't tried the Sanken, but it's as long as my 60 from the looks of it, so i'd be in the same situation as before. My 633 has a bass cut which I leave in usually of course. The kit 1 seems O.K., I just wondered if the basket resonance can be tamed a little... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Deakin Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 If the cable is to long to the mzl connector could you not open up the conbox and shorten the cable to your desired length ? Can't be to difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisyking Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 UPDATE: Just wanted to set the record straight on this one. I swapped out my WS-1 for the non ZLM one, so the lyres are now stiffer and it now works fine. I now think that the funny ringing might have bees some weird combination of my boom pole, the lyres and the basket all being in sympathetic resonance. I would like to say that the 8060 WS-1 combo is really fantastic. The basket is just a great size, and the mic is basically just like a 416 but nice and short and with a better wider sweet spot. I tested the WS-1 fur in high wind the other day and it works great. I'm very happy. I would say however that I wouldn't but the ZLM version. It's unnecessary as you can fit a short XLR in a normal kit just fine. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisyking Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yes. I didn't want to leave anyone with the wrong impression. Very happy with my WS-1 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
